Faculty/Staff Resources

Disabled Faculty and Staff Association

This new University Resource Group (URG) will serve faculty and staff who identify as disabled, Deaf, neurodivergent, chronically ill, having a mental health disability or undiagnosed (among many other intersectional identities they may hold), , as well as those connected to disability personally or professionally who want to support the efforts of DFSA. This URG will strive to communicate the needs of these diverse groups to the campus community and celebrate the voices, identities, experiences, and talents of the group. Our goals are to connect faculty and staff who hold these identities to opportunities we find valuable, including but not limited to training and professional development, available support resources and information, and community-building spaces and events to connect with others.

Institutional Accessibility and Accommodations

UT is required by law to provide reasonable accommodations to employees with disabilities. The accommodation process is a collaborative and interactive process between the University ADA Coordinators, the employee seeking accommodations, the employee’s supervisor, and/or other appropriate personnel (including Human Resources personnel and benefits).

Employee Assistance Program

The HealthPoint Employee Assistance Program provides brief counseling and consultation services, crisis intervention, assessment and referral, educational and training programs, and supervisory consultation.
